Steamed Rice Flour Cake (Huat Kueh)

Steamed Rice Flour Cake (Huat Kueh)

Steamed rice flour cake or often called 发糕 in Mandarin, fatt koh in Cantonese and Huat Kueh in Hokkien. It is very similar to cupcake or muffin, but it is steamed instead of baked. With an amazingly soft texture, it is moist and full of fragrance. This is one of the nostalgia foods that bring back memories and simply a favourite for the old and young alike.
